Just to supplement Frank's response, you can also use TSM itself to get help on messages, commands and options:
Information about the new ANS4089W message can be found by running: dsmc help ans4089w Information about the new CREATENEWBASE option can be found by running: dsmc help createnewbase Best regards, Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Product Development Level 3 Team Lead Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Hartford/i...@ibmus Internet e-mail: [email protected] IBM Tivoli Storage Manager support web page: http://www.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/Overview/Software/Tivoli/Tivoli_Storage_Manager "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> wrote on 2010-12-14 15:05:38: > From: Frank Ramke/Knoxville/i...@ibmus > To: [email protected] > Date: 2010-12-14 15:07 > Subject: Re: Snapdiff with 6.2.2.0 client > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <[email protected]> > > Hello Margaret, > I am not sure why search engines have not found it yet, perhaps because > they are pdf files. > > Look in the section called "New for Version 6.2.2" in the following: > Windows PDF: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27019824 > UNIX PDF: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27019825 > > The reason the cad is failing is that the CREATENEWBASE option is not > valid in dsm.opt or dsm.sys files.
